Questions & Answers about Moja cura voli planine.
Does cura mean "girl" or "girlfriend" here?
It means "girlfriend" in this context. While cura literally translates to "girl", it is the most common and casual way to say "girlfriend" in everyday Croatian. You could also use djevojka, which is slightly more formal.
What case is the word planine here?
It is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb voli (loves). The singular dictionary form is planina. For feminine nouns ending in -a, the accusative plural ending is -e, which looks exactly the same as the nominative plural.
How would this sentence change if she only loved one specific mountain?
You would use the accusative singular form. Since the dictionary form is planina, the accusative singular changes the -a to an -u. The sentence would become: Moja cura voli planinu.
